A portmanteau of "trailer" and "entrepreneur", a "trailerpreneur" is a person who uses a small trailer to carry on business. The phenomenon has emerged due to the availability of small, inexpensive, mass-produced utility trailers. This not only facilitates entrepreneurial aspirations, it also provides a ready made 'billboard' to cheaply and effectively advertise said enterprise.

Wow, there sure are a lot of trailerpreneurs in this town.

Trailerpreneurs have been very good for the vinyl sign makers and graphic design industry.
